Are you an emotional eater?
Are you an emotional eater? I think we all are to some degree. Who hasn’t scoffed down half a packet of choc chip cookies or an entire carton of ice-cream in one sitting? I’ve often used food for comfort because it’s just so damn good at cheering you up. You know you’re not really hungry, but that bag of potato chips is calling.
Many diets fail for just this reason. We often eat for reasons other than hunger. Sometimes we are sad or even bored.
To really change your eating patterns, you need to have a plan for what to do when you feel temptation creeping up. You need some low-carb treats that you can make quickly. Something that will satisfy you. Ideally, it would contain chocolate, be rich and creamy and lip-smackingly delicious.
Next time you feel the caramel popcorn speaking your name, take 10 minutes to whip up this Quick Keto Chocolate Pudding. You’ll be comforted and satiated but without the guilty after-effects of having gone down that slippery slope. You might actually find yourself feeling unexpectedly happy about staying on track with your diet.
How to cut up an avocado
- Grab a nice, ripe avocado and carefully cut it in half lengthwise, all the way around the avocado
- Gently twist each side in opposite directions to split the two halves apart
- Remove the stone with a spoon
- With the avocado still in its skin, use a knife to cut length-ways and then across the avocado flesh. This creates grid lines in the avocado.
- Use a spoon to scoop the avocado pieces out of the skin
How to make Quick Keto Chocolate Pudding
Scoop the cut avocado directly into a high-speed blender. I use my trusty Nutri-Ninja which is perfect for jobs like this as well as making bulletproof coffee and green smoothies.
Add the almond milk (unsweetened), cocoa powder (unsweetened), coconut oil, vanilla extract, sweetener to taste and a pinch of salt.
If you have ground flax seeds on hand, add those in here too. I like to add them if I have some, as they add a little fiber boost to the chocolate pudding. If you don’t have any, just skip them as it won’t affect the flavor or texture of the finished pudding.
For the sweetener, choose any low-carb sweetener such as erythritol (granular or powdered), stevia or monk fruit.

Add a small amount of low-carb sweetener to the blender and then process and taste the pudding. It’s easy to add a little more sweetener to achieve the flavor you’re after. You can’t take it out, so always go easy at first with sweetener.
Quick Keto Chocolate Pudding is similar to a chocolate mousse. If the texture is too thick, add a little more almond milk to loosen it up.
Is it healthy to eat avocados?
Yes, avocados are considered to be one of the healthiest foods found in nature:
- Avocados are good for your heart – around half of the fat in an avocado is mono-saturated which is considered key to a healthy heart. Half an avocado (100g) has 12.8g of total fat, 6.4g is mono-saturated.
- They are rich in vitamin C and anti-oxidants which protects against free-radical damage. Half an avocado provides 32% of an adults’ RDI of vitamin C.
- Avocados are high in folate which is important before and during pregnancy to protect against foetal neural tube defects.
- They are a good source of fiber which helps to maintain healthy bowel function. Half an avocado (100g) has 4.2g of fiber.
- Avocados contain potassium – half an avocado contains 490mg of potassium which often needs to be supplemented on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. To learn more about supplements for the keto diet, click here.
Yes – it is healthy to eat avocados. As well as all the health benefits mentioned above, they are highly satiating and the perfect low-carb, high-fat food. They are very versatile as they can be eaten raw, on their own or used in many different recipes.
Add them to smoothies, make guacamole or avocado salsa or use in recipes like this Keto Chocolate Pudding.

Easy Low Carb Cheeseburger Soup
I tried this recipe because I am generally eating low carb, wanted chocolate pudding and I had all these ingredients on hand. I have one question though, if I use Stevia, do you need the liquid version? I had packets. Two packets didn’t do, I’m up to 3. I’m wondering if it didn’t blend well enough so I took it out of my Nutribullet and mixed the 3rd packet with the other ingredients in a bowl and still not right. Beautifully creamy though. I guess I’ll add honey.
It should work fine with powdered stevia but it probably did not blend well enough for whatever reason, as you said. Stevia comes in such small quantities that it is naturally harder to disperse 1/2 tsp evenly versus using 2 tsp of erythritol. This can also happen if your avocados are not ripe enough and a little hard. 2-3 packets would be enough unless you like it really sweet.
I loved it although I don’t like stevia so I added honey. The only bad thing was I kept some in mason jar and went to eat it a couple days later and it had a bad taste. How long can you keep it in the fridge before it starts tasting like chocolate and avocado?
It will taste best on the day you make it but should be fine to eat within the next day or two. If eating the pudding on the second or third day, try blending it again or giving it a very good stir to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well. You could even try microwaving briefly to loosen up the pudding before stirring well. If you’re not going to finish the pudding, it can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Good recipe! If you don’t like the smell or taste of flax seed I don’t recommend you put it in. Almost near impossible to get rid of it no matter what I add. Yuk!
Yes – totally agree! If you are not into flaxseed – don’t use it. It’s totally optional and just adds a bit of fiber 🙂
That is a wonderful keto friendly chocolate pudding. I am bookmarking it to try soon.
Thank you – let me know how it goes!
Yum! This looks great :). I’m not keto, but I do tend to eat high fat and I’m generally over carb because I’m GF, so this would be perfect!
Yes – this pudding is ideal for gluten-free diets too. Enjoy!
Sounds delicious! Avocados are so versatile!
What a great recipe! I just adore chocolate pudding and this looks so creamy and delicious! I LOVE my bullet as well, it just makes everything super creamy…
Thanks! I hope you like it… 🙂
Great tips on emotional eating! I try to keep cucumbers and celery on hand for those times when I just need to chew something. I always buy avocados with no idea what to do with them, next time I’ll try this!
Thanks for sharing, I have a ton of avocados and I don’t know how to eat it all, the kids surrendered. Now this time will be different because of your recipe. I love to try this because they also love chocolates.
Yes – this is a great way to use up avocados that are getting over ripe! Enjoy…
